from the beginning , the writing is on the wall and yet the newly divorced protagonist keeps on going until at the end she finds herself in a fix..or not? ..couldn`t put this book down, with the hope that she would see the light and manage her choices better
Loved it! Riveting theme and dialogue and I think it would make a great movie. And if you ever wonder if you should do something potentially a bit crazy a quote from the book: “...better to regret the mistakes you made than the ones you didn’t make. At least then you know what you’re regretting.”
Margaret starts a new life in Hermanus after her husband leaves her for a younger man. There she develops a friendship with a very interesting mixed-race young man, that ultimately results in her killing an intruder with a kitchen knife. There are so many exciting surprises and funny nuances in the story that it is difficult to review without spoiling it. Michiel Heynes at his best again.
